Josh Benson's story

Josh Benson, 16, of Hinckley, Minn., lost the use of his legs when the ATV he was riding with his girlfriend flipped and pinned him underneath. According to Josh, a front wheel on the vehicle failed, causing it to veer into a ditch. Before the crash, Josh said, he pushed his girlfriend, Kelly McFarland, safely off the vehicle. Josh was flown by helicopter from a hospital in Sandstone to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale, where he was treated for his injuries and had physical therapy for more than a month.
